I've got the biz card, but we have no "company ID" AND I sure as heck ain't gonna lug the work laptop on a beach vacation just so that I can show an email with the company's domain (and my mobile phone doesn't have their email either -- I'd have to turn over control of the device to them if I want email on it, and I'm not about to do that). So I will totally use the "your email says I need to show A OR B OR C" (and I'll show them my biz card which satisfies the "OR" condition :-) ), but are they really changing the rules again come Oct. 1? OR is this a new, more stringent policy for rentals that are reserved AFTER Oct. 1? prepared to produce your company ID, business card, or a recent email with the company’s email domain (e.g. [MENTION=25805]xyz[/MENTION]company.com) for employment verification purposes when picking up your vehicle. |
My wife just picked up a van at FNT but didn’t have to show ID. I think I’ll just use the good codes at major airports where I can go straight to my spot via the app.

I would be cautious with the “beach vacation” argument. most company awd’s are only for business travel.

Business card is not worth the paper it is printed on since people can just make their own and copy/paste logo from corporate website. |

I can see why you are not going to lug a laptop or show mobile phone as you mentioned in the other thread (actual post since removed by moderator action in post# 8) that you, today, don't actually even have any access to your corporate email address (for potential pre-booking Avis email verification). https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/imag...s/rolleyes.gif Business card is not worth the paper it is printed on since people can just make their own and copy/paste logo from corporate website. |

A business email is easy enough to spoof - just edit the "to" to your name@ the company you're trying to spoof and save it to your phone then show them an email of the image when asked. It's even easier than the business card spoof.

Anyone have info on Z284372? I'm seeing almost 75% off on some rental classes for January 2023 ... what code is this?

Wonder how long the "fake email" will work as well. FYI - recently rented from airport in unnamed city and nobody asked for anything. i had a backup reservation just in case. |

Was told it is Cityflex discount - mean it gives maximum discount in a number of a largest US cities and works the best on a long rentals. When you say they created it for you, what does that mean exactly? Won't they have limited it to you only? Or is it akin to you being "ABC Corp" and instead of your "employees", you have authorized every Tom, Dick, Harry and bambino on the Internet to avail themselves of it, no questions asked? |

Did anyone ordered with this code ? It gives me a good discount, but I'm just afraid it will ask for some ID proof
